Introduction

Andhra Pradesh is envisaging a big structural transformation – both in terms of economic progress and well-being of people as well. From a modest beginning in 2015-16, the State aspires to achieve the status of a developed state in the country by 2029 in between navigating through one among the best three states by 2022 with a vision

to lay foundation of the sunrise State of Andhra Pradesh. Eventually, Andhra Pradesh is to become a leading investment destination in the World by 2050. Swift growth in double digit, better infrastructure, participatory planning, and better governance through effective service delivery marked with improved Happiness Index are going to be the key milestones for realisation of Vision 2029 formulated by the State..

Andhra Pradesh, in the present form, in the post-bifurcation period from June 2, 2014, when the division of the State into Telangana and residuary Andhra Pradesh took place, consists of 13 districts with two regions – Coastal Andhra (9 districts) and Rayalaseema (4 districts). The State’s population in 2015 has crossed the 5 crore mark. This is one of the progressive major states in the country pursuing development strategies with sufficient attention paid to sustainable development goals (SDGs) on the social and human development scenario. The state is the 7th largest in area, and 10th largest in population among the 16 major states of the country. In social indicators, it has a long way to go to be on a par with the other southern and western states as revealed from Table 1. The state has many advantages for sustainable growth of the economy. It has the second longest coastline of 974 kms., next only to Gujarat. Visakhapatnam is the largest city and a commercial hub of the state, followed by Vijayawada. Both are million cities as per 2011 population Census. The other commercial and industrial centres include: Guntur, Kakinada, Rajamahendravaram, Kurnool, and Tirupati. Hyderabad is currently the joint capital for a period not exceeding ten years from 2014. The State is building a river-front, world class capital city, Amaravati, covering parts of Krishna and Guntur districts, in the area declared as capital region.The state is endowed with a variety of physio-geographic features ranging from Eastern ghats, Nallamala forests, Coastal plains to deltas of major rivers of Krishna and Godavari. The state

pioneered in green revolution in the 1970s with focus on paddy cultivation. It is known as the rice bowl of India.

At the end of September 2015, large and mega industries in the state number 1,784 enterprises, with ₹ 81,261 crore fixed investment, and employment of 4.36 lakhs. At the end of March 2015, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) number 1,09,399, with fixed investment of ₹ 19,000 crore, and employment of 12.09 lakhs. There are 272 industrial estates and industrial development areas in the state promoted from early 1960s, with a few developed in the recent two decades. These are now known as industrial parks, covering an area of over 36,000 acres. Of the 29 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) formally approved for the state, 19 have become operational in seven districts, of which 8 are in Visakhapatnam district. There are four Software Technology Parks at Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Vijayawada, and Tirupati. Among the 13 districts, seven are categorised as less developed for which special attention needs to be paid for accelerating industrialisation. These are four districts of Rayalaseema and three of North Coastal Andhra (Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam).

I. Economic Scenario of the State during 2011-16, and beyond

Latest literature available at the state level has been referred to for analysing the recent and future socio-economic scenario of Andhra Pradesh for the period 2011-16, and beyond. Sources of data are listed here. These are all publications of the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, and Planning Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh.

The following tables have been prepared, as given towards the end of the paper.

1. Andhra Pradesh in relation to six other major states and all India – economic indicators

2. GVA/ GSDP estimates sector-wise at constant prices for Andhra Pradesh and India for 2013-16

3. GVA and GSDP Sector-wise of Andhra Pradesh and India at current prices for 2011-16

4. Relative position of 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh in relation to the state regarding GVA and PCI during 2014-16

7. Top 3 sectors in 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh in terms of GVA and sectoral share at current prices for 2015-16

The Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Andhra Pradesh brings out time series statistical data on the progress of the state on various aspects. Utilising the guidelines and pattern prescribed by the Central Statistical Office of Government of India, the state level directorate has brought out estimates at various periods for GVA , GSDP, and other related indicators sector-wise for Andhra Pradesh and 13 districts from 2011-12, with 2011-12 as the new base year. The latest available data are for 2015-16 as advance estimates (AE), and 2016-17 as targets. For earlier years, the data are referred to as first revised estimates (FRE), second revised estimates (SRE), and third revised estimates (TRE). Sector-wise estimates at sub-state level help the government to plan for balanced regional development of the state. On similar lines, District Domestic Product (DDP) and Mandal Domestic Product (MDP) estimates prepared sector-wise reveal the strong and weak areas of the respective regions. MDP estimates are considered as broadly ‘indicative’ reflecting the economic status of the mandals in the district. The assessment of sector-wise analysis at mandal level facilitates micro level planning in greater detail. These estimates form the base for identifying the

strong and weak points of growth, and growth engines for planning of activities at micro level. Estimates on these lines have been prepared for Andhra Pradesh for 2015-16 (AE) and 2016-17 (targets), on quarterly basis to facilitate monitoring and evaluation at periodic intervals.

It can be observed from Table 2 that GVA of Andhra Pradesh at constant prices for 2015-16 (AE) is estimated at ₹ 4,55,484 crore as against ₹ 4,12,188 crore during 2014-15 (FRE), and registered growth of 10.5% (India 7.3%). The sectoral growth rates are 8.40% for agriculture (India 1.12%), 11.13% for industry (India 7.35%), and 11.39% for services (India 9.19%). A targeted approach encompassing all the sectors, has been quite helpful for analysing the past trends sector-wise, and identifying the growth engines, and weak aspects. GSDP growth rate at constant prices for the State in 2015-16 is 10.99% (India 7.6%). Sector-wise percentage shares at current prices in GVA for the State and India for 2015-16 are: agriculture 29.4 (India 18.25), industry 23.6 (India 31.7), services 47.0 (India 50.02). Annual GSDP growth rate at constant prices for the State was 5.6% in 9th Plan, 8.2% in 10th and 11th Plans, and 10.2% envisaged in the 12th Plan.

II. Vision 2029 – Sunrise State of Andhra

Pradesh Andhra Pradesh has set for itself a target of

becoming one of the top three states in India by 2022,in-terms of socio-economic development and ease of doing business. The State aspires to achieve the status of a developed state in the country by 2029, and the vision is to lay the foundation for the Sunrise State of Andhra Pradesh. Achievement of this vision is incumbent upon a fast paced and sustainable double digit growth, delivered through a combination of programmatic and project interventions with focus on sustainable and inclusive development..

Andhra Pradesh is poised at an interesting juncture in history as it tries to balance the varied challenges that bifurcation has created for the residuary state, including managing budget fiscal deficit and establishing improved governance system. Under the leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has evolved a comprehensive long term vision for bringing about the State’s socio-economic development in an accelerated and sustainable manner. The state is

set to transform from the routine, business as usual (BAU) status to a dynamic and thriving Andhra Pradesh where the fulcrum of development is the people. The key milestones of the long term vision for the State are as follows:

To achieve the level of development envisioned in Vision 2029, the State will have to move from the current growth rate of 7% GSDP to a double digital growth rate of more than 10% for each upcoming year, beginning from 2015-16 (constant prices).

The Andhra Pradesh Vision 2029 envisages increasing the GSDP from the current level of ₹ 5.33 lakh crore (2015) to approximately ₹ 41.53 lakh crore by 2029 estimated at an achievable scenario of 16% growth rate. The Double Digit Growth Rate Strategy will enable the economy to attain the status of a developed economy with per capita income likely to touch ₹ 6.62 lakh by 2029-30 if the annual growth rate is consistently above 10% level, and in the event of its crossing this threshold, the per capita income may even touch ₹ 8.00 lakh mark. The State has the potential to reach this level through the Framework of Double Digit Growth envisaged. The State will be pursuing a robust online monitoring and evaluation framework in respect of key performance indicators. The Government is conscious of the challenges ahead. And towards realising its vision, the Government has charted out a multi-pronged strategy. There is a need for structural shift towards high growth trajectory and deeper and radical reforms to achieve the development envisioned in Vision 2029. During the transition period, the government will unveil a ‘rolling planning process’ to provide necessary momentum to the economy and a double digit growth rate. Double Digit Growth in India’s GDP – A few Snapshots:

Arresting the pace of diminishing rate of productivity is identified as one of the key components to sustain double digit growth at the National level. Economic trends underline that output of the Nation could be increased annually by 7%, without risking inflation, of which 3.5% is accountable by greater capital absorption, 2% attributable to the growing workforce while the balance 1.5% through efficiency improvements. Making power available to small manufacturers at affordable prices boosts competitiveness of

pharmaceutical, textiles, auto-parts makers, etc. Government reforms in these industries could push the potential GDP’s growth to 7.8%. Stronger property rights, superior regulatory institutions and better fiscal management are expected to push the growth by 1%. While all these measures (7.8%+1%) in place still do not assure the 9% mark, the huge reform process of arresting the pace of diminishing rate of productivity remains to be the key for placing the growth pedestal on the double digit mark, and sustaining it thereafter. Achieving Inclusive Growth – Andhra Pradesh

Currently the poverty level (2011-12) in Andhra Pradesh stands at 9.2%, and has witnessed

a noteworthy reduction from 45% in 1993-94. This is considerably lower than the national average of 21.9%, and the pace of income poverty reduction is also rapid. The poverty ratio for rural and urban areas of Andhra Pradesh was 10.9% and 5%, respectively. The corresponding figures for all India were 25.7% and 13.7%. The performance of the state in reducing the poverty has been remarkable. The absolute number of the poor in the state declined from 19 million in 1993-94 to 5 million in 2011-12.

On completion of 75

years of our

Independence, to be

Best State in the

Country

Leading Investment

Destination in the World

The State of Andhra Pradesh will be the best state in India by 2029-30 in achieving inclusive growth and

ranking better on happiness index; and a leading investment destination in the World by 2050-2051

As per one estimate, the elasticity of poverty with respect to GSDP for the State is 1.50 as against 0.86 for all India. Hence achieving double digit growth will accelerate substantial reduction in poverty.

While the State of Andhra Pradesh has displayed remarkable economic performance and succeeded in reducing the absolute poverty, inclusive and equitable growth has not been commensurate. Further, Andhra Pradesh though faring comparatively well in many indicators under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the gains are smaller in comparison with other

southern States like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. With the MDGs reaching their deadline, a new transformative and universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be adopted in the state as envisaged at the national level. Building on the MDGs, the SDGs propose to end poverty and deprivation in all forms, leaving no one behind, while making development economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. This presents a challenge and an opportunity for the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

The AP State in its long term growth agenda envisages ensuring participation of all

stakeholders: and laying foundation for a rapid growth momentum through the seven missions, five grids, five campaigns, Janmabhoomi programme and the Smart Village and Smart Ward Programme, with measurable targets and strategies.. These are three pillars the state is building. Figure 1 presents the details in a diagrammatic form.

The seven missions are Primary Sector Mission, Industry Sector Mission, Service Sector Mission, Knowledge and Skill Development Mission, Social Empowerment Mission, Urban Infrastructure Mission, and Infrastructure Mission.

The five grids, namely,Water Grid, Power Grid, Roads Grid, Gas Grid, and Optic Fiber Grid will ensure proper service connectivity.

Five campaigns are taken up for improving sanitation, health, education, and financial inclusion.The State departments have identified growth engines by adopting a bottom up approach, with a focus on leveraging the lagging sectors in 2015-16 towards stimulating growth of the economy. Establishing the Single Desk System and

various reforms introduced in the State have facilitated the State being considered a favoured investment destination. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Government of India, and the World Bank have ranked Andhra Pradesh as number 2 state in the country in the Ease of Doing Business in a study carried out by them in September 2015. In this context, it is heartening to learn that out of the total Foreign Direct Investment inflow into the country during 2015-16, of ₹ 1,39,000 crore, Andhra Pradesh accounted for ₹ 22,000 crore (15.8%), and was ranked number one state.

III. Special Financial Package announced by the

Centre for Andhra Pradesh on September 7, 2016

Government of India announced on September 7, 2016, a Special Financial Package in lieu of Special Category Status (SCS) promised for the state under the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation Act 2014. This took shape after prolonged discussions between the Centre and the State over a period of two years and three months.

Following the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission, the class of Special Category Status ceases to exist. In view of its inability to consider granting SCS for Andhra Pradesh, the Centre offered the Special Package to the state which is considered equivalent if not higher in comparison to the SCS. Government of Andhra Pradesh after extensive deliberations accepted the package, and requested the Centre to give a statutory backing to the provisions contained in the package through individual notifications. Details of the notification issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) under the Union Ministry of Finance are presented later. The handholding support being extended by the Centre to Andhra Pradesh on various programmes by treating it as a special state, is summarised here through the main areas spelt out in the announcement and subsequent discussions. (Source: www.finmin.nic.in)

1. Centre advancing funds through externally aided projects, which would be totally repaid by the Centre. The externally aided projects refer to loans to be obtained from institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and individual governments of a few countries.

2. Centre bearing the total cost of Polavaram multi-purpose project on river Godavari in West Godavari district. The Centre is committed to ensuring its completion in the fast track. The Centre declared Polavaram as a national project, and has asked the state government to continue to take up works on the project as it had come forward to execute it setting definite timelines to it.

3. The Centre has agreed to bridge the entire revenue deficit of the state that remains after enhanced devolution of central taxes for the term of the 14th Finance Commission of 42% compared to 32% earlier. This provision is applicable for three states – Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal.

4. Entire cost of establishing premier educational, healthcare, and other institutions in the state as central projects will be borne by the Centre.

5. Centre will bear the entire cost of construction of the world class new capital city for Andhra Pradesh, known as Amaravati, falling in the capital region of the state.

6. Substantial hike in the Centre’s contribution to centrally–sponsored schemes to be implemented in the state.

7. Smart cities programme at present covers three cities in the state, namely, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, and Tirupati. It is planned to cover the new city of Amaravati, when it becomes operational.

8. Special package to backward areas in identified districts- namely, seven districts, four of Rayalaseema and three of North Coastal Andhra. This facility is being extended to designated backward districts of Telangana also. ₹ 1,050 crore per year for seven districts of AP, at ₹ 150 crore per district as annual grant from the Centre. Special fiscal concessions will also be extended in these districts for accelerating industrialisation in less developed regions.

9. Greater support for infrastructure development in the state, covering airports, sea ports, railways, national highways, and waterways. Notification of CBDT on Fiscal Incentives for AP in designated districts The notification issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on 30th September 2016 is applicable for seven less developed districts of AP – namely, four districts of Rayalaseema – Anantapuram, Chittoor, YSR Kadapa, and Kurnool, and three North Coastal districts – Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and Visakhapatnam. This is a follow up of the special financial package announced by the Centre on 7th September 2016 for Andhra Pradesh. Entrepreneurs can avail tax incentives under Section 32(1)(iia) and Section 32AD of the Income Tax Act.(Source: www.finmin.nic.in)

Any manufacturing undertaking set up between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2020 – for a period of five years - in the designated districts would be eligible for 15 per cent higher additional depreciation, and 15 per cent investment allowance on the cost of plant and machinery acquired by it. These incentives will be in addition to other tax benefits applicable under the Income tax Act.

Conclusion The progress of Andhra Pradesh in terms of growth rates of GSDP and related indicators has been modest, and a lot more remains to be done to improve the performance in social indicators. The current GSDP growth rate level at constant prices of 11% needs to be improved at a faster pace to reach the level of 16% in the next few years, and further improved upon in the subsequent years. The structural shift in labour deployment from farm to non-farm sectors is to be accelerated, with improvement in productivity and efficiency on all fronts. The state’s performance in reducing poverty levels over years has been remarkable. Achieving double digit inclusive growth is to be further accelerated for improving the happiness index of the people of the region.

The Vision 2029 for Andhra Pradesh envisages creating a conducive ecosystem on all fronts. Priority areas are e-governance where we leverage the power of Information Technology to lead and transform citizen services; a social empowerment that encourages rural entrepreneurship; and fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, incubation, and inclusiveness in all sectors of the economy. Innovativeness and technology orientation have to be given greater encouragement.
